dear doc,
“Not believing in anything” implies that you do not believe in yourself or anyone else. If that is true, then there is a huge lack of trust and possibly fear controlling your decisions and behavior. That is a bleak, dark place to be whether you have a belief in God or not. The Yin: Afterlife is just that – life after the one you have here and now. Think about your earthly daily life. Is there anything you enjoy? Are there people in your life who can support and respect the person you are? If the answer is no, then it is time to build a life that brings you some joy and comfort. The Yang: Sometimes we need outside help to change directions. There are community services which offer different kinds of support and there are also guides with a spiritual outlook to help you regain faith in yourself and the universe. There are many people that do not believe in God or an organized religion, yet they feel that life on earth does have purpose and meaning. Ask about these different groups. Best Regards,
